lie has reason to be. In the days of his
power Blaine opposed Malone because
he could not use him, and worked with
the boiling sideshOw which sailed under
the canvas labeled 'StraightOut Re-
publicanS." Now Mahone's turn has
come. He says:
"Blaine cannot be nominated. If
nominated he cannot be elected. Vir-
glnia will cast her electoral votes for
almost any other Republican, but never
for Blaine. | am for Sherman, and am
openly advocating his nomination. He

man and patriot. | am opposed to
Allison, just as l am opposed to Blaine.
Allison has no following. There is
nothing in him to evoke enthusiasm or
to draw votes. He would never be
thought of for the presidency, nor have
his name mentioned in that connection,
but for the fact that he is Blaine Satel-
lite. If the dimigod from Maine cannot
be nominated, he intends to cast his bal
lots for Allison, as his first and best
beloved friend. He wants to play
president again, and use the Iowa
man as second Garfield. He expects
the state of Iowa to furnish him with
cats-paw. He thinks that the Republic
can party will stand that sort of nom
sense. He will find that the Republi-
can party does not swallow any dose
that don't suit it. 1t wont have Blaine,
and it is unalterably opposed to one of
his shadows.

asstatesmau, a friend of Conkling as
well as of Blaine. He is man who
would draw to him all elements of the
Republican party, SO [ could readily
enter into his support with enthusiasm.
But my first choice is Sherman. The
only man in this day who dares to
accurately define the position of
his party upon topics of national inter
est. He is protectionist and he is OPP
posed to the bull whip and shot gun in
the South. He is fair and square and
open and above board in all his deal
ingS. He is strong with the people.
Besides, merely from partisan stand
point, l am for Sherman, because it is
necessary for us to win in 'SS, or else
forever after hold our peace, as a party.
And the Democratic party will renOm-
mate Cleveland. He is strong with the
people. There is no question of that.
He cannot be beaten by Blaine, nor by
Allison. Both of them are weaker than
their party. Blaine will always dis
tract the party, although he has an inn
mense personal following. Allison
would also distract the party, because
he stands cheek by jOwl with Blaine.
Heis weaker than Blaine, for he has no
personal following. Hence it follows
that neither Blaine, nor any
of his henchmen, can be elected
in the face of the solid and growing fact
of Democratic unity. Cleveland is to
be renominated by acclamation, and he
will be elected without struggle over
any hepuDllcan except sherman and
possibly Hawley. Sherman is the
strongest man in either party. No Re
publican can win without New York.
No Republican can carry New York
without COnkling. l know that Conk-
ling wants to see the party unite ON
some man, but it must be a clean man.
Sherman suits COnkling He would
supporthim. With Conkling's support
Sherman could carry New York. That
is the winning card. Conkling is out of
politics and lets the politicians severely
alone, and makes them let him alone.
But. until he comes into politics again,
the Republican party is dead and almost
damned. He was compelled to leave
active work in the party by Blaine's
man Garfield. The Republican party
will have to call him back. He will
come for Sherman"
